Art: Like Sun

Solomon Guggenheim has always been interested in education. He was, for
example, treasurer of the Public Schools Athletic League of New York
for many years and is still a patron of the Brightside Day Nursery.
These activities are pie, however, to the educational job Solomon
Guggenheim undertook two years ago at the age of 76. "I desire to
encourage the development of the esthetic sense of our people," said
old Mr. Guggenheim, and plunked down something like $3,000,000 to
endow a foundation for "nonobjective" art (TIME, July 12, 1937).
